Great setup, sir Stephen. Welcome to the Gallery.
Galing ng color matching ng rack with the speakers. Customized ba rack nyo, sir?

Thanks to everyone who welcomed me to the Gallery..

To Jazzy Jake.. yup, MassKara week na nga dito sir.. everyone is welcome here in Bacolod!

To ruth2art.. yes, its a customized rack. I found the design in a magazine, I had it made 5 yrs. ago.

To JoeyGS.. this is my first venture in SET amplification, at first I was skeptical whether the ASLs could do the job in driving the Epos & produce the sound quality that I want.. and yes, I want a warm but detailed sound quality. I have a space that suits the power output of the SET amps just right, plus I mainly listen to jazz (vocals, trios/quartets/quintets). For orchestral works and the occassional rock music, I turn to my Meridian integrated to do the job.

To KefQ.. thanks bro, after the "merry-go-round" & the seemingly endless equipment upgrades.. I finally found my niche in this hobby ( SET sound ), not so sure if its that "final" though hehe..

Medyo maulan dito ngayon sa Bacolod mga bro.. but it won't dampen the spirits of locals & visitors, Masskara fever is still high.. October 16 - 18 pa yung highlights.. pwedeng humabol ng flight to Bacolod.
